Canada 2011: Sunday Best

This crab apple tree is a gnarled, twisted old thing... and a perfect climbing tree for kids!  We've all spent some time in those branches, and it is fun to see our kids play in them now.  Or under them like Tyler and Wesley...

Kyle and Pam blessed their sweet baby girl, Katherine Ruth, at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  What a beautiful baby girl!  We really want one of those one day. :)

Grandpa and Ciana... I love this picture.

My grandparents and me

The Wes and Ruth Rice family... in order of age.

All the great-grandchildren (minus Colt who was sleeping) who were there.

Canada: More Magrath Days

There is tons of fun stuff for kids after the parade.  They have races, a blow-up slide, a bounce house, swimming... and a really cute petting zoo.  It's all free, too!  I wish Wesley's face wasn't in the shadow, because this is seriously a cute picture.

 Broc is so cute helpingWesley. 

I liked the sweet little bunnies the best, but Jack was completely fascinated with this big ugly pig.  It was so cute watching him.

And what would the 24th be without softball?!  Unfortunately, I really only got pictures of the game Griff, Eric, Britt and I didn't play in.  It's fun to play with your family.  Especially when your family is pretty good like ours. :)    

Colt laughing at Paige.  

Here we are at Beef on a Bun!  The town provides a barbecue beef sandwich to every in the town for free.  So fun!

We spend a lot of time at the playground.  Even on vacation. :)

Canada 2011: Big Family Breakfast and the Parade

We always have a huge family breakfast to kick start the Magrath Days celebrations.  Everyone shows up looking cute and ready to play all day.  The whole day was a blast.  

Who knows what I'm talking bout, but I'm obviously really into it. :)

My cute family with my grandparents

Jack and Wesley were obsessed with that man satchel (okay fine, it's a leather purse) the whole trip.  

I think Mom looks SO pretty in this picture.  I love her in blue.  And who knew you could look so great making pancakes?

Aunt Cindy, Amy, Megan, Aunt Jackie

I think the parade is now my favorite part of Magrath days.  Jack LOVED it.  There are lots of horses and lots of candy thrown in this parade, so what's not to love?  All the big cousins were so sweet to the little cousins, too.  Look at Natalie telling Jack something and Jaren sitting with the little boys.  They were helping the little ones have fun and get candy the whole time.  It was really cute.  We have the best family.  (Notice the man satchel on Wesley now.  Haha.  His face kills me too.  You can tell Gabe is happy.  And Logan is super excited, too!  Jack is looking away from the camera... as usual.)

The three sisters in attendance!  

Matt cracks me up... picture crasher!

I LOVE this picture.  Hayley was seriously amazing with Colt.  Later in the vacation when Griff left, she was constantly saving me by holding and playing with this little guy.  And Colt loves her, too.  (Can't wait to have this girl in Utah for school next year!)

Broc, Alex, and Ellie.  Alex is obviously a well loved Auntie.

Ciana with Blake.  Ciana is my age, and we had such a blast growing up.  I love this girl.  She let us stay with her in her new house... which is perfectly located across the street from the ball diamond.  She even let us stay in her master bedroom, which still kind of embarrasses me.  But it was SO nice.
